I’m not sure how to feel about this. Renewables for any use is a win, I guess.
I guess those would be powered by non renewables traditionally so this isn’t dissimilar to normal wind farm usage really
Is there a fediverse nottheonion out there?
Well, that’s not ideal, but the oil and gas platforms have to be powered by something. They’ll exist either way, but without these turbines they’d be powered by oil and gas.
Power demand is power demand. If we get all precious about who can use our wind power, they’re not just gonna go “ok, I guess we’ll shut down these oil rigs” 🤷♂️
